Moscow Slaviccommittee and Education of Young Serbian and Bulgarian Ladies (1876-1877)

Summary/Abstract: Three prepared protocols from the meetings of the Ladies‘ Group of the Moscow Slavic Benevolent Committee, handwritten by the secretary I. A. Ivinski and signed by its most eminent members, represent an important historical testimony on accomplishments of this organization in terms of cultural and educational cooperation with Serbian and Bulgarian people during the turmoils on the Balkan Peninsula in the time of the First Serbian-Turkish war (1876-1877). During this war, the achievements of the Russian Slavic Benevolent Committees reached the climax. From its foundation (1858), Moscow Slavic Benevolent Committee, supported by the official members of the Russian government, with the help of Slavic Benevolent Committees from Petrograd, Kiev and Odessa, worked on establishing the solid relations with Balkan people, and helping them from the cultural, educational, clerical, and later on, military point of view. One of their main tasks was to educate the Slavic youth in Russia, in order to form the teaching staff for the Slavic countries under the Ottoman rule. The abovementioned proceedings contain valuable pieces of information about South- Slavic girl scholars chosen for the teaching profession, about educational institutions they attended, as well as the records about the organization itself and people under whose auspices these girls were educated.
